How did you attract/ address the audience?

1. How did you attract/ address the audience?

2. After creating the magazine, I asked my target audience what worked well and what didn’t in the magazine in order to make improvements to keep them interested and continue purchasing the magazine.

3. The people I asked:

4. Front Cover: Colour Scheme: Image: Layout: The majority of people believe that the colour scheme is eye catching and that the colours used on the front cover are bright. 4/5 people also believe that the colours included on the front cover work well with the genre of the magazine. Overall, I believe I will stick with this colour scheme as the feedback from the target audience suggests that it works well in the magazine. 3/5 people feel that the image on the front cover fits well with the genre. This suggests that the image may not have represented the rock genre as well as I thought however in the next issue the image will look a lot more rock styled. Most people asked found the image eye catching, this may have been due to the pose in which the model was holding or the fact that she was looking directly at the reader. Some people found the image used on the front cover inspirational however I feel as though it depends on whether the artist appeals to them. Each member of the target audience I asked found that the layout of the front cover was spacious which was very successful as well as this because they each found the layout spacious they found the front cover was easy on the eye. 3/5 people believed that the font was easy to read. I will take this into consideration and will try out different font styles and sizes next time that more people will find easier to read.

5. Contents page: Images: Layout: Language: All the people asked understood that the writer used informal language, this was to make the reader feel more relaxed when looking at the magazine. As well as this, everyone found that the writer was talking on the same level as them which also made them feel comfortable. Everyone said that the language was easy to understand which means that next time I create the magazine I will continue using language of the level I did. 4/5 people asked found that the contents page was too cramped, next time I create a contents page for the magazine I will make sure that it is easier on the eye for the reader. Although, all the people asked could recognise that the page was the contents page through the conventions included on the page. Most of the people asked said that they found the page easy to read. The majority of the target audience of the magazine found that the images used on the contents page were eye catching. Most people believed that images linked in well with the genre of the magazine. All five people asked believed that the images used on the contents page linked in well with the text.

6. Double Page Spread: Language: Image: Layout: Each of the people I asked found the language on the double page spread easy to read. They also all believed that the writer was writing on their level so they felt comfortable reading the magazine. They also all found that the language used was easy to understand. All the people I asked found that the images used on the double page spread were eye catching as well as 4/5 people believing that the images used fits well with the genre of the magazine. 3/5 people also found the images on the page inspirational. All the people I asked believed that the layout of the double page spread was spacious and as a result of this it was easy on their eye. They also all said that the font used on the page was easy to read.

7. Overall marks out of 10: The majority of the target audience of the magazine who I asked believed that the overall magazine mark out of 10 was 9/10.

8. Conclusion: • Overall, I believe that my magazine attracts and addresses the target audience very well for example through the use of images and text in the magazine. However, I have took into account the results I have gathered and I will aim to improve the feedback given next time.
